Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba to have wrist surgery, sources say
Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will undergo wrist surgery but still could be ready for the start of the regular season, sources told ESPN.
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will have surgery to repair a broken bone in his wrist but still could be ready for the start of the regular season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Seahawks will determine how long Smith-Njigba will be sidelined based on the results of the surgery, which will be performed Tuesday in Philadelphia, sources told Schefter.
Smith-Njigba suffered the injury during Seattle's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday when he was tackled near the goal line after a highlight-reel catch in the second quarter.
I wanna know how a WR gets a wrist surgery and comes back in time but I hope it's true.
Yeah I really hope it's both something he can quickly come back from and they don't rush him back from. Really looking forward to what that guy can do.
Literally sitting in emergency now after complications with my wrist surgery 8 weeks later. Hope he has better luck than me.
Best of luck to you - hope you and JSN have equal recovery.
